Hey JD,
Thanks for including Web 2.0 Expo on your list, we really appreciate it!

Did you know that we are also producing a tutorial dedicated to Media 2.0 at the Enterprise 2.0 Conference, June 22-25 in Boston?

I don’t know if you’re planning on updating the list, but if you are, I think E2 would be a great addition.

Thanks again.

Hi Micah, I’m a big fan of Personal Democracy Forum, and hope readers will attend. The list was already long at social media, tech and marketing conferences so decided not to throw in politics too.
